My Circus, My Monkeys (e-book) (used book) | William Garner | bookbook.eu

Description

I selected my first college by virtue of it's proximity to my duck hunting fields. I was promptly kicked out of that school, and enjoyed a brief and aborted naval career. After serving a year of exile at a junior college, I entered the University of Mississippi. Despite my best efforts, my time at Ole Miss was marred both by graduation and a brief stint in Law School

In the nearly 40 years since that time, I have had a wonderful life. My family and life has been filled with innumerable encounters of meaning, glimpses of a reality that often leaves me wondering how I could have been so blessed. Some years ago, I began writing a blog in association with my competition barbecue team (The Memphis Barbecue Company - not to be confused with the Memphis Barbecue Company in Memphis which is a real barbecue restaurant). After publishing my first novel, Me, Boo and the Goob: A Southern Adventure, I continued my blogging in my own blog. Some of my blog entries are a mixture of truth, fiction, exaggerations and outright lies, but they present a reflection of the reality of a wonderful lifetime. While it can be said that not all of this stuff is completely true, it can not be said that any of it's spirit is false.

At the suggestion of several readers, I have compiled my blog entries into a single volume. I hope they provoke in you thoughts and memories, smiles and laughter, and the occasional tear. In working on this volume, I have again been reminded of what a wonderful family I have, what an incredible life I have lived, and what amazing friends I have.

Life has truly been good to me so far.
